You soo crazy..
crazy by ~mind-prowler on deviantART
*laughs first* It's funny how the american meia likes to spin things for the sake of creating controversy out of nothing, i personally do not know whether they dont have anything better to report about, or it's just a publicity stunt for the mid-term elections.
This all stems from obama's comment (@ 3:10), where he said metaphorically, that if republicans wants the keys back (in this case, majority in the senate) they can come for the ride, but the'll have to sit in the back. This is where they turned the whole thing into a rosa parks metaphor (a racial issue), where they claimed obama said "back of the bus" which wasnt the case, if you watch the video. As if hypocrites, some republican douche bag named michael steele actually uses the bus reference...*sigh* americans..

To all my friends..
friends by ~nunoramos0 on deviantART
"I'll see you next week" or "See you tomorrow man" these are the most famous lines that we speak every time we part ways with someone. Whats funny about the whole this is that, we actually get this belief that "i will see you next week" or " i will see you next week "maan" "
Never noticing how you could as easily get hit by a truck anytime, or someone blowing your brains out at the club. But i guess its good that we always stay focussed on the happenings in our lives than dwell on "death" imagine how fucked up people would be if they all had the mentality of live today, and worry about tomorrow later..i know right? there wouldnt be any warren buffett's or Bill gates'. the world would be filled with MC Hammers, just a bunch of broke buggers..this is a message to all my friends..just a thought!!

Album of the week..
Kno (of Cunninlynguists) - Death is silent
this album reminds me of the cunninlynguists album (a piece of strange) which also has the same tone, and is also a concept album like this. This one is good for the die hardcore fans of this man's work behind the boards (like myself) and He does most of the vocals on the all the track, and he is decent on the mic too. Faves on the album are "not at the end" featuring tunji, who is by far my favorite rookie of the year, after i heard him smash everybody with his verse on Incise's daily methods LP, "La petite mort" and "when i was young" with a guest spot from his fellow Cunninlinguists' alumni Natti. This is definetly a highly recommended listen..Real hip hop..

Cold wind blows..
and the wind blows by ~pukaj on deviantART
This just in...moses never separated the red sea..its two week old news but im just sayin..
water separation can be understood by Fluid Dynamics
crossing on foot of the Red Sea described in the biblical scriptures may have been a phenomenon caused by strong winds, according to U.S. researchers.
computer simulations conducted by scientists show how wind power could have created a land passage that would have allowed the Israelites to escape led by Moses from the Egyptian soldiers, as described in the book of Exodus.
simulations fit well with the story, “said Carl Drews, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR for its acronym in English) from USA, who led the study.
Researchers believe that a strong wind from the east of approximately 101 km /h could blow at night pushing back the waters in a curve where it is believed that an ancient river merged with a coastal lagoon.
water withdrawn from both channels, it would open a land passage through which the Jews could have escaped.
Once the winds stopped blowing, the waters returned to its banks, covering the passage.
water separation can be understood by fluid dynamics. The winds move the water in a manner consistent with the laws of physics, creating a safe passage with water on both sides and then allowing the water abruptly back, “Drews said in a statement posted on the website of NCAR.
The study is part of a wider investigation on the influence of winds on the depth of water, and which also discusses how the Pacific typhoon can create waves.
Nile Delta /> For the study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, we modeled different locations and depths of flood water from the Nile Delta that might exist at the time of Moses.
In the book of Exodus describes how Moses and the Israelites that led out of Egypt, were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea or Sea of Reeds.
Then God divided the sea through Moses and an east wind that blew all night, allowing the Hebrews to cross safely.
When the Egyptians tried to follow them, the waters returned to normal drowning pursuit.

Superhero
wow!! what a shocking season it was, from episode one, season 7 has been serious. And when ever it gets serious, its always vince who's really down and out than the rest of the guys. i just hope the final season is more fun, the way i enjoyed 1-4.
If thats what cocaine really does to people, damn..i glad i dont even know how it smells.
As soon as Vince started hanging around scott, i coud smell trouble from a mile away..and now what did he get? a break up from a pornstar, getting beat up by eminem and his goons, and from what i saw he could be facing jail-time for possession..now the question remains, will he still make that air-walker superhero movie?
so from the enterouge it seems vince is screwed, Turtle is aight, drama's ok, Ari's srewed, Billy walsh is ok, Eric is screwed..*sigh* till next season stinkpots..

Free Mason..
Pyramid by *MichelVictor on deviantART
The first theory is that a ramp was built on one side of the pyramid and as the pyramid grew, the ramp was raised so that throughout the construction, blocks could be moved right up to the top. If the ramp were too steep, the men hauling the blocks would not be able to drag them up. An 8-percent slope is about the maximum possible, and this is the problem with the single ramp theory. With such a gentle incline, the ramp would have to be approximately one mile long to reach the top of the pyramid. But there is neither room for such a long ramp on the Giza Plateau, nor evidence of such a massive construction. Also, a mile-long ramp would have had as great a volume as the pyramid itself, virtually doubling the man-hours needed to build the pyramid. Because the straight ramp theory just doesn't work, several pyramid experts have opted for a modified ramp theory.

Wasting my time..
Earthquake by ~maddartist83 on deviantART
So the guy wakes up with a hangover and starts blabbing about how namibia's gonna have a tremendous earthquake in my home country..obviously the first thing every one can believe, if not answers from a google search, its everything from the mouths of these so called television "prophets" who claim to get messages from god.
For a minute a few hours there was a lot of hysteria..and chaos on facebook!!! annoying the hell of me.
My first question to the whole thing when i saw the video on youtube was, howcome homeboy looks like a muslim, but is talking about "god" this and "god" that? i thought muslims were supposed to say "allah" this, and "allah" that..
At the end of the day, what i thought to myself after this whole fiasco, was that this whole thing can be regarded as terrorism..because the guy basically terrorised the people of namibia..and that goes out to all the "prophets"..how come they dont predict good things, only bad things..next time this guy does it again, im gonna light that beard on fire..stop wasting my time!!!

They get around..
William wallace...ahem, mel gibson's out of control..dude's been insecure since he got involved with that baby mama of his, at one point he said he wouldnt care if she got raped by a pack of niggers(yes, his words)..what is the moral of the story here? everybody's racist when they are angry, i dont care who you are but its the truth, apologising doesnt help!!it's like raping someone and saying you didnt mean it..of course you did, thats why you did it, otherwise you wouldnt be in jail in the first place now would you..my advice to mel gibson is that "if you wanna be happy, for at least a little while, get involved with women in your age bracket" at least then you'll have to worry about infidelity, cause they are old as you...jesus, and this is the guy that made Braveheart, what a loser!!

Don Ready: Don't worry about it darlin' we're not going to break the rules, we're just going to bend them a little bit...
Ivy Selleck: [wiggles around faking enthusiasm] Okay, okay. I just, I know your type. You know it's all the thrill of the hunt, I get it. I mean you crave it, you corner it, but mister Ready let me ask you a question. You know what to do when you catch it?
[awkward silence drops around the dinner table]
Don Ready: Are we talking about pussy?

You know, I've done 3-ways, 4-ways, menage-a-tois, menage sept, menage seises... I've sixty-nined, eighty-nined... one hundred fourteened. Golden, diamond and platinum showers. I like that.

RIP Tupac!!!
new world order by ~SpartanEmperor on deviantART
being alive to get to celebrate your birthday is something one has to be thankful for. Especially if you were
born on the same day as tupac amaru shakur, the self proclamed thug poet.what a year it has been so far. From the haiti disaster to the earthquakes and plane accidents..
life as we know it must go on..some are crying tears while mourning, other cry tears of joy..The rebirth of slick, as i call today has arrived..it feels good to be alive!!! freedom is never free..go figure!! mother earth has given birth to a new man..and im getting ready to watch south africa battle it out on the field,with Uruguay, so im not gonna talk much, i'll just let curtis mayfield tell it:
Curtis Mayfield - New world order
"Darkness no longer, a child is born
Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs
My daddy's not there where he ought to be
Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees
Another victim born out here in the hood
And based on statistics it really ain't all good
Welfare takes the tab and daddy can't sign
And it can't be seen, the family becomes a crime
The hunt is on and brother you're the prey
Serving time in jail, it just ain't the way
I'm living so hard, baby, that my hair is gray
We got to make a change, it's a brand new day
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
Operation influx and it's on the way
We've just marched a million plus the other day
Look we all witnessed the sweat rolling down Ms Liberty's head
She knows the sleeping giant is no longer sleeping dead
Oh, what a fulfillment of prophecy
Let us teach the children freedom's never been free
It's okay to cry, go ahead and cry
'Cause Jesus wept but hope and faith he kept
It's a new day
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
The die has been cast and there's no need to fear
'Cause people, the answer to your prayers are here
Sister Mary don't you weep, tell Martha not to moan
We need the love and daddy's coming home
There's no need to worry, the times dictate a plan
Mother Earth's given birth to a brand new man
Sister I know you're misunderstood
But hold on to your man 'cause the future looks good
It's a new day
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
Beware of the lies and false prophecies
We are many with eyes but don't all really see
You must be merciful my friend to obtain the same
So if you break the chain don't pass the blame
We should say unto all and I'll say it again
It's not just to win, shake a hand, make a friend
We who are pure at heart somehow might see
There's still light in the world, come rejoice with me
It's a new day
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day
Yes, Lord, it's a brand new day

Gimme sympathy..
A hundred dollars for every namibian, regardless of wealthy or poor the person might be? that's the most annoying sarcasm i've ever heard, and when i enquired, i was told its wasnt sarcasm, but it was in fact serious..Seriously? what the hell are you smoking?
A collective know as big came up with a proposal, to give every namibian a hundred dollar bill, which would apparently sustain them during trying times (hunger,being broke..among other things). Apart from the humorous scathing comments made by the president a few weeks ago about this issue, i have some comments of my own and why i think it's ridiculous how this whole thing was la-d out in the beginning.
What this "BIG" collective were supporse to focus at on their blueprint was to look at salary scales of people in the country and those who are considered disadvanted as priority number one, similar to the welfare grants/food stamps that have worked for countries like the united states, instead of giving 100 dollar bills to the so-called "fat cats" or already advantaged people who might not need the money.. this would eventually also help pensioners get reasonable grants monthly to sustain themselves in this ever rising inflation infested country..in history of politics a government is never to be too sympathetic to whoever cries "gimme sympathy" it's a sign of weakness..because at the end of the day, if these individuals turn out to be crying wolf, the government loses millions of dollars (look at what happened to Zimbabwe when land was given to dudes who have no clue about farming). So it's not to say that it's not a good idea, but to me it seemed more like an idea which was still in a brainstorming phase..so it's back to the drawing board for "BIG!"

Barenaked..
nudity in films, is just an attempt by filmmakers to get the audience talking. and talking in this case brings about more interest from people who havent seen the said films, and this makes the movie somewhat a success finacially, even if it was initially panned by critics.
what is interesting though is the fact that nudity in film is mainly targeting hot-blooded teens past puberty, giving them a film they could help themselves to, choking the bishop when no one's looking. By this i mean, nudity in films almost always portray girls, barenaked and..while dudes are normally fully clothed, or just got their vests off. and what's our excuse? we are celebrating the beauty of women bodies..seriously..

Hometown glory..
It happens wherever you go, "homeground advantage" we call it. when you are in your hometown the love you get is astounding, from the love you get from everybody around, people you havent seen in a while. It's almost paradise. even in soccer, look at the love manchester gets in old trafford..you will notice certain individuals, who are desperate to go back to their hometowns, because thats their utopia, where they are confident and well respected, and they can rant about their imaginary success "in the big city" . you will notice that these characters, avoid persons who know them well, and every once in a while when they meet the latter, it's often hilarious the way they react..Kind of reminds me of the series LOST where there's a character named "Locke" who's like a commando on the island where they are lost at. But when he hears that there could be a submarine to rescue them from the island, he panics and blows up the sub. he doesnt wanna go back to the real world..hilarious!!!
It's all good and fun, but the trick is to get out before the chips are down, it's good to get out while it's still nice, so that you have an excuse to come back again...come to think of it..i havent been there in a while, i gotta go pack my bags and go see my hometown..

Being dissapointed by someone takes a long time for you to heal, especially if you trusted that person so much, and at the end of the day, you are the one to look like an idiot. It's sad because what makes the whole thing so unfair is that, you become paranoid, and it's gonna take time for you to really trust anyone again, you might get close to someone as far as friendship is concerned, but as soon as you get too close you end up distancing yourself, because you dont wanna see yourself in that situation you had earlier.
Dissapointments come in different circumstances, it could be heartbreak..it could be rape..friendship..etc. you start thinking of the humiliation, shame, and. your heart could tell you to get out there and mingle, but you just aint sure that you are ready yet..it's as if you are still in repair..you aint together, but you are getting there..

R.I.P Guru
Just over a month since undergoing surgery following a heart attack, Gang Starr MC Guru (born Keith Elam) has died at age 43. According to a statement, Guru died of cancer-related causes on Monday after a long fight with the disease.
Guru's longtime collaborator and partner Solar mourns his loss in the statement and explains that Guru had written a letter to his fans that was to be released upon his death.
"The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru," Solar said. "Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it, but tragically, this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius."
Born on July 17, 1966, near Boston, Guru rose to fame in the late 1980s as part of the duo Gang Starr with partner DJ Premier. The pair helped define the New York underground rap sound in the 1990s. Their unique sound combined Premier's production palette, which leaned heavily on sampled jazz records and scratched vocals on the choruses, with Guru's uncompromising rhymes. Although the pair would work separately as often as they did together — Guru's Jazzmatazzseries of albums and Premier's work with Nas, Jay-Z, and underground act Group Home — Gang Starr continued to release critically acclaimed material throughout the late '90s and early 2000s.
Their 1998 album Moment of Truth was among their most critically lauded collections and Gang Starr's biggest-selling project to date. Gang Starr's last group project, The Ownerz, was released in 2003.
Guru found solo fame in 1993 when he released the first volume of his Jazzmatazz series, an all-star project that featured a number of collaborations with jazz icons such as Branford Marsalis, Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers and Ronny Jordan, as well as vocals from French producer Solaar and N'Dea Davenport of the Brand New Heavies. The album's mixture of jazz and rap was considered pioneering at the time, and the record spawned the hit "Trust Me." Guru would go on to make four volumes in the series.
Gang Starr's Guru: A Life In Photos
Guru wrote his farewell letter while in the hospital, according to Solar. "I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world," it begins. "I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options.
"I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.
"My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody's feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf [of] myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own."
Guru very pointedly distanced himself from Premier in the letter, saying he didn't want his former musical collaborator to be able to participate in any tributes or events surrounding his death.
"I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events, tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this," wrote Guru. "I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ.
"As the sole founder of Gang Starr, I am very proud of what Gang Starr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with Gang Starr or Jazzmatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now.
"The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small-mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life."
At press time, Guru's family — from whom he was reportedly estranged, along with other past associates — had not commented on his death, and last month his nephew Justin Nicholas-Elam Ruff posted several emotional videos on YouTube saying that Solar was preventing them from seeing the MC during his illness.
"Solar has completely cut us off. My family has no way of knowing what is going on with Guru's situation," he said in the video. "Solar has complete control over the flow of information given from the hospital and will not disclose any information to us. The doctors and the hospital staff will not discuss any info with Guru's family." Ruff said in one of the videos that no one in Guru's family had not seen him since February 28, and that he was prevented from seeing Guru when he visited the hospital last month.

Horse & Carriage..
"When from behind me, a woman of 25 uttered the dumbest thing I'd ever heard in my life ... She said, 'If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.'
I'll repeat that. I'll repeat that because that's the kind of sentence that when you hear it, your brain comes to a screeching halt. And the left hand side of the brain looks at the right hand side and goes, 'It's dark in here, and we may die.' She said, 'If it weren't for my horse...' as in, giddy up, giddy up, let's go - 'I wouldn't have spent that year in college,' a degree-granting institution.
Don't! Don't think about that sentence for more than three minutes, or blood'll shoot out your nose. The American medical profession doesn't know why we get an aneurysm. It's when a blood vessel bursts in our head for no apparent reason. There's a reason.
You're at the mall one day, and somebody over there says the dumbest thing you've ever heard and it goes in your ear. So you turn around to see if your friends heard it, cause if your friends heard it, and you can talk about what the jackass said, then it'll be gone. But your friends are over here, pretending they're gonna buy a cellular phone, and they're not gonna buy a cellular phone, because they don't even understand how the rate structure works. So you turn back, to find the person who said it, because if you can ask 'em a question like, 'WHAT THE @*#! ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?!' then it'll go away. But they're gone.
And now those words are in your head. And those words don't go away. Cause the way I see it, 7% of our brains functions all the time, because 99% of everything that happens is the same old stuff. We get it. All right. Move on. Get it. Right.
But every so often, somethin' like that happens: 'If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.' So your brain goes, 'LET'S FIGURE IT OUT! Son of a bitch! I wonder what that's about!' I wonder, was she riding the horse to school? No, she wouldn't be riding the horse to school. Maybe it was a polo pony; she had a polo pony scholarship. Maybe she sold the horse and that's how she - she was betting on the horse! WHAT THE @*#! ?!! And then you realize that anybody who went to college would never say anything that stupid in public. And as soon as you have that thought, your eyes close and the next morning they find you dead in your bathroom."

Queen of the supermarket..
Jonah hill hilariously suggested in "superbad" that the best foods are shaped like dicks ie. hotdogs, bananas, cucumber, french loaf/bread and what have you. but out of the foods mentioned above, i only take delight in a hotdog, hands down..i dont eat bananas, but certainly enjoy cucumbers in my salad..what's the relevence of all this you ask?
Well i mostly buy these items at a local supermarket, where you are almost always guaranteed to struck up a conversation with beautiful girls or potential girlfriends. just be careful at the crap you put in your cart, because it's gonna say a lot about how healthy you eat, or how incredibly stupid you look throwing a six-pack of sardines in the cart
So next time your fridge suffers from malnutrition, hit up a supermarket where there's a video store nearby as well. It's a great place to meet women, and to get away from the confines of your one bedroom apartment. who knows? you might find a special on the groceries as well as get a date to that forthcoming high-school reunion you've been despising.

You dont know me..
It cracks me up how someone who has a crush on you behaves when you approach her, or talks to her. The reactions are different. Some react by blushing.Some hide behind friendship. Some are just quiet. Some just behave as if they dislike the person (this is probably the funniest of the bunch), but in actual sense, you wont believe what you'll hear from your sources, about these people who "dislike your guts" . Their hearts beat faster when you are around, they dream of you at night, they long to kiss your lips. because of fear, they let you walk away, fearing dissapointment..you might think you know them, but you dont have a clue who they really are..

Beamer, Benz or Bentley..
If it were up to the looks only i would probably go for the Bentley continental GTC in black, the grill is just fierce and its swagger is just off the chain. With 611 metric horsepower, and a top speed of 325 kilos per hour with 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds..what more could you want from a car? And top it all off it's the fastest four seater, despite the fact thatit weighs about 2,4 tons.
If it's about affordability, then i guess my hat goes off to the BMW, the cheapest of the three cars.The BMW F01/F02 is the 5th generation
of beamers that came out in january of last year.It offers diesel, straight 6, V8 and v12 motors.245hp which aint bad. and it comes with a
double wishbone design for improved handling. it's also got a bulletproof version available.and mind you, it comes equipped with a more intuitive iDrive
system with a full featured web browser. This will be safer, and more technologically advanced as well as rich in entertainment.
The Maybach 57/62 replaced the Merc 600 and probably the most celebrated car which almost every rapper references in their song.It uses a 6.0 L version of the V12 engine manufactured by Mercedes-AMG. Power output is 450 kilowatts (611.8 PS; 603.5 hp) and 738 lb·ft (1,001 N·m), providing a sub-5 second sprint to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). It also rides 0.5 in (13 mm) lower on 20 inches (510 mm) wheels It's got a navigation system with voice recognition, airconditioning with 4-zone climate controls, remote engine start...the list goes on, all
i can say is that if king xerxes was still alive today, he'd be riding in one.
